Blues in the Night (Let's Face the Music Complete Edition 1962)

Текст песни Shirley Bassey - Blues in the Night (Let's Face the Music Complete Edition 1962)

My mama done told me
When I was in pigtails
My mama done told me, hon
A man's gonna sweet talk
And give you the big eye
But when the sweet talkin's done
A man is a two-face
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing

The blues in the night

Now the rain's a-falling
Hear the train a-calling
Woo-ee, my mama done told me
Hear that lonesome whistle
Blowing 'cross the trestle
Woo-ee, my mama done told me
Woo-ee, doo-woo-ee
Clickety-clack
Echoing back

The blues in the night

The evening breeze'll start
The trees to crying
And the moon'll hide its light

When you get the blues in the night
Take my word
The mockingbird
Will sing the saddest kind of song
He knows that things are wrong
And he is right

From Natchez to Mobile
From Memphis to St. Joe
Wherever the four winds blow
I've been in some big towns
And heard me some big talk
But there is one thing I know
A man is a two-face
A worrisome thing
Who'll leave you to sing

The blues in the night

My mama was right
There's blues in the night
